Based on wonderful family memories of playing classic Pictionary, I asked for this for my birthday. Unfortunately, they've messed with it. The items they've chosen for drawing have clearly not been vetted. The example I'm thinking of is "Windows XP." Who can draw that without writing "XP"? Items like that are also going to be dated very quickly.

The final square on the classic board is an all-play, which gives other teams a last chance to take game play away from the leaders. On this board, the leading team can win without a final face-off. I'm disappointed in the lack of consideration that was given to "updating" this game. I just bought a copy of the classic game and will be getting rid of this version.

pictionary is great for a wide age group. my niece and nephew, who are ten and 8, found the jr version a little too easy. with the regular version, they can use their imagination more and learn new things that they may have never heard of before. plus, if they dont know what the phrase or item is, it can be skiped and they can draw something they do know on the cards. as they get older, they can follow the rules closer, but for now, we all enjoy a night of pictionary (adults and kids alike)!

This is a fun group game for children and adults. It is better if the game is played by people over 13. There is a JR version for the younger set, but this version involves cultural and vocabulary awareness best reserved for older children. Good way to spend an hour.

classic game for groups. fun to play with family and kids or just a group of adults. some words seem like "no brainers" while others are really hard. have to think on your feet and be create to draw the word or phrase. promotes creativity and team playing.

This is a very good game to activate both sides of the brain for all age levels and good for those needing to keep the brain active and alert. Great for senior citizens as well as children.

I thought this was the older version of pictionary and was disappointed to find out that it wasn't. It's not as fun as I thought it would be. The rules are all the place and hard to grasp.

It's funny how games go in and out of fashion. For years this was a hot game and I've had many fun times and fond memories playing it. In fact, I can think of quite a few hilarous laughing fits playing Pictionary. Anyhow, the game is fairly simple. You have a partner who tries to guess what you're drawing within a time limit. You can't use symbols or words. Some things or ideas are easy to get across and others are seemingly impossible. Although it helps to be a good artist, the best way to do well is to be good at figuring out the essence of a thing or an idea and convey that. I once played with a very brainy boyfriend of my sister-in-law who couldn't draw well, but he always won. He could convey and grasp the key elements of representing something quickly. That said, don't be intimidated by this game. Pretty much everyone can have fun with it, even those who don't draw well.
Enjoy.

The board did not match the instructions. I was very disappointed and returned this game. I have had pictionary in the past and it is a fun game.

I like this game. It gets a little hard if you can't draw a straight line but the point is in what you chose to draw, not really how well you draw.

very fun game for all ages, i would recommend this game for everyone.it brings your family together for a lot of laughs.
